Review Comment:
   Yes, sure, we can mark `INT96` as deprecated.
   It is unfortunate that we have documentation/specifications in multiple places and we usually forget about them. E.g. [parquet.apache.org](https://parquet.apache.org/docs/file-format/types/) still not contain `FIXED_LEN_BYTE_ARRAY`. We might create a jira about clearing up these. Even referencing the `parquet-format` repo from the apache site or generating the content from it?
